1. INVESTMENT PROGRAM

1.1 Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is to detail government capital spending and to explain how it will be funded.

The 2016-17 Budget provides for a record capital spend of $73.3 billion in the four years to 2019-20. The investments are spread across the general government and public non-financial corporation (PNFC) sectors. The PNFC sector comprises both commercial entities, such as Sydney Water, Hunter Water and Essential Energy, and non-commercial entities (businesses that rely on budget support), such as Sydney Trains, Sydney Ferries and the State Transit Authority of New South Wales.

The investment program is designed to provide a strong foundation for economic growth and to maintain and improve the standard of public services provided to New South Wales residents. Adding to infrastructure allows New South Wales to better manage the increase in population and economic activity over the coming decades. The investment also supports jobs and delivers productivity enhancements over the longer term (see Box 1.1).

The record expenditure is enabled by the State’s strong and sustainable fiscal position. Successive increases in capital expenditure have been enabled by ongoing control of recurrent expenditure and asset recycling rather than just additional borrowing. These measures, combined with a capital investment framework which integrates planning, project selection, funding and delivery, ensure that the right projects are built, at lowest cost, and delivered on time and on budget. This framework is detailed in Appendix A.

The Government’s infrastructure priorities are set out in the State Infrastructure Plan in Chapter 4 of this Infrastructure Statement. The program includes major road and rail projects designed to alleviate congestion for motorists and improve public transport. There are also major hospital redevelopments, the construction of new schools and significant funding for new correctional centres.

Box 1.1: Infrastructure investment and jobs Infrastructure is critical to driving productivity and economic growth. Transport infrastructure allows access to markets and enables workers to travel to where they are most productive. Schools and hospitals provide direct benefits to individuals and indirect economy-wide benefits in the form of increased workforce participation and worker productivity.

Infrastructure construction phase and jobs growth

Infrastructure investment offers an economic benefit from employing people to construct the infrastructure. Over 10,000 jobs are expected to be created during the total construction period of WestConnex.1 The CBD and South East Light Rail will deliver over $4 billion worth of economic benefits and create 10,000 jobs for NSW.2 As the resources boom winds down, infrastructure investment offsets decreasing investment and employment in the mining industry.

In a global environment of slower growth, infrastructure spending provides a boost to aggregate demand. This has flow-on effects for employment in other sectors of the economy.

Infrastructure Statement 2016-17 1 - 1

Investment Program

Long-term productivity growth

A larger infrastructure stock increases the productive capacity of the economy over the long term by removing bottlenecks and supply constraints. This provides ongoing benefits for firms and individuals that use these infrastructure assets. The International Monetary Fund found that a permanent increase of 1 per cent of GDP in public infrastructure investment increases output by 2½ per cent over the long term for advanced economies.3 Infrastructure also creates larger integrated markets, stimulating higher levels of innovation and specialisation.

Better transport networks enable businesses to access more customers, workers to travel for higher paying jobs and supply chains to work more efficiently through lower transport costs. Education infrastructure has long-term implications for labour productivity. Investment in health infrastructure can improve workforce participation. Utility investments ensure reliable supplies of electricity, gas and water for businesses. Improvements in infrastructure therefore lead to jobs.

The NSW Government focuses on projects that have a net benefit to society. Infrastructure NSW (INSW) provides independent expert advice to ensure that investment expenditure is directed to high quality projects.

The State’s capital program is funded from a number of sources including:

• taxation, other own-source State revenues and borrowings

• Restart NSW (which includes the Rebuilding NSW plan), via such sources as asset recycling, windfall tax revenues and the issuing of Waratah Bonds

• Australian Government grants

• public non-financial corporation (PNFC) own-source funding (including from equity, retained earnings and borrowings).

Chart 1.1 summarises the total capital spending program and the sources of funding over the four-year period to 2019-20.

1 - 2 Infrastructure Statement 2016-17

Investment Program

Australian Government funding includes both infrastructure grants for specific projects as well as Asset Recycling Initiative payments of $994.0 million in 2016-17, which will be deposited into Restart NSW and applied towards approved Rebuilding NSW projects. Australian Government Asset Recycling Initiative incentive payments are expected to total $2.2 billion with $994.0 million recognised in the Budget following the successful lease of TransGrid.

Rebuilding NSW is the Government’s plan to invest $20 billion in new productive infrastructure across the State. This will be funded by the proceeds from the long-term lease of 49 per cent of the State’s electricity network assets, and incentive payments from the Australian Government under the Asset Recycling Initiative. The Government has committed $10.2 billion for Rebuilding NSW projects, including $9.1 billion over the four years to 2019-20, funded by Restart NSW ($7.3 billion), Asset Recycling Initiative payments ($994.0 million) and advances from the Consolidated Fund ($761.0 million).

In accordance with convention, the Budget only includes Restart NSW projects where a formal commitment has been made to the projects. This Budget includes Restart NSW commitments for several Rebuilding NSW transport projects, notably for Sydney Metro City and Southwest (Box 3.1). When fully implemented, the Rebuilding NSW plan will significantly increase capital spending over an extended period, including beyond the Budget and forward estimates period.

A further $1.8 billion has been reserved against funds held in Restart NSW to be committed in future budgets for both Government capital spending and grants to other infrastructure owners, including Local Government. These reservations are not included in the Budget, but when committed will impact capital spending in future years, including beyond the Budget and forward estimates period.

Chapters 2 and 3 of this Infrastructure Statement provide further detail on the Restart NSW Fund and the Rebuilding NSW plan.

Box 1.2: Infrastructure spend across states

Historically, capital spending as a proportion of Gross State Product (GSP) in New South Wales trailed other states. However, spending has picked up in recent years as a result of the Government’s significant infrastructure program, overtaking other states and remaining elevated over the forward estimates. New South Wales’ purchases of new non-financial assets as a percentage of GSP in the non-financial public sector is expected to be 3.5 per cent in 2016-17, the highest of all the major states. This compares to an average of 2.4 per cent across all other states.

Investment Program

1.2 Four year capital program

The Government’s investment program to 2019-20 is forecast to be $73.3 billion. More than half of the program is dedicated to transport and roads spending. Over the four years to 2019-20, transport comprises 56.6 per cent of the total infrastructure spend. This compares to 33.9 per cent over the four years to 2011-12 and 52.9 per cent over the four years to 2015-16. The increase in the share flowing to transport reflects Government priorities and funding of major strategic projects in the sector. The breakdown of capital expenditure by functional sector is shown in Table 1.1 below.

(a) Expenditure only includes Rebuilding NSW projects where a formal commitment has been made. When fully implemented, capital spending is expected to increase in later years.

(b) Does not include $128.0 million in 2016-17 and $117.1 million per annum from 2017-18 in capital expensing relating to certain expenditure associated with the construction of health capital projects, which fall below the capitalisation threshold and is therefore expensed annually.

(c) Includes capital expenditure by Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy. Following the partial lease of these businesses, this expenditure will no longer form part of the NSW Government’s capital investment program.

(d) Functional sectors are based on grouping of similar agencies and do not align with the Government Finance Statistics (GFS) classifications published in Budget Paper No.1. “Other” includes investment in family and community services, and general public services.

(e) Total spending may not equal the total of general government and PNFC expenditure due to intra-sector purchases. Spending excludes capital expenditure by public financial corporations.

Chapters 5 and 6 of this Infrastructure Statement list major capital projects and minor works for general government and PNFC sector agencies. The capital projects listed in Chapters 5 and 6 can be viewed by location or region at myinfrastructure.planning.nsw.gov.au.

1.3 Capital investment by sector

Increased focus on transport and roads

According to the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics, avoidable congestion costs in Sydney were $6.1 billion in 2015 and will rise to between $9.5 billion (lower baseline estimate) and $12.6 billion (upper baseline estimate) by 2030.4 The following key projects in Sydney such as Sydney Metro, WestConnex and B-Line will help tackle congestion, increase productivity and enhance the quality of life:

• The fully automated, state-of-the-art Sydney Metro network will have the capacity to operate 30 trains an hour through the CBD in each direction – a train every two minutes each way – with trains required to run on time 98 per cent of the time. This means the railway network across greater Sydney will have room for an extra 100,000 train customers an hour in the peak.

4 Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics, Traffic and congestion cost trends for Australia capital cities, Canberra, 2015. The estimate of $6.1 billion in 2015 is comparable with the Australian Infrastructure Audit estimate included in the 2015-16 Budget Papers of $5.6 billion in 2011.


http://myinfrastructure.planning.nsw.gov.au/

Investment Program

• WestConnex will help alleviate Sydney’s congestion problem. WestConnex will deliver more than $20 billion in economic benefits to New South Wales and is estimated to help drivers bypass up to 52 sets of traffic lights. By 2031, WestConnex is projected to be carrying over 200,000 vehicles across the M4 and new M5 on an average weekday.

• B-Line will deliver better bus services for customers travelling between the Northern Beaches and Sydney CBD. The program will provide several improvements for residents and motorists, including more frequent and reliable bus services, reduced congestion and shorter travelling times and a simpler bus network with fewer vehicles on the bus route, improving safety and local air quality and reducing traffic noise.

The State is continuing its focus on transport to meet the needs of a growing population and to support future economic growth. Over the next 15 years, transport infrastructure will need to support 40 per cent more train trips and 30 per cent more car trips.5 The Government is aiming to meet these needs through the provision and funding of major transport projects.

The Australian Infrastructure Plan, developed by Infrastructure Australia, lists several major projects contained in this Budget as high priority to address urban congestion including Sydney Metro, WestConnex, and B-Line.6 High priority projects address major opportunities of national significance.

Over the next four years the Government is undertaking $41.5 billion7 of major capital works in the transport sector including:

• major upgrades for vital link roads, including Princes Highway ($313.4 million), Western Sydney Growth Roads ($315.3 million), Great Western Highway and Bells Line of Road ($150.7 million) and completion of the duplication of Pacific Highway8

• the WestConnex Motorway project9, commencing planning for Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link, and planning funding for WestConnex Stage 3

• Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek ($1.8 billion)

• the Fixing Country Roads Program ($50.0 million allocated in this Budget) to fund road and bridge upgrades in rural and regional areas10

• rail projects including the fully funded Sydney Metro City and Southwest ($6.2 billion over the Budget and forward estimates period), the Sydney Metro Northwest ($5.8 billion), Next Generation Rail Fleet ($518.4 million), Fixing the Trains ($154.2 million), the Northern Sydney Freight Corridor and growth trains for the suburban rail network (more than $1 billion over the next four years)

• the Transport Access Program of $280.3 million in 2016-17 to provide a better experience for public transport customers by delivering accessible, modern, secure and integrated transport infrastructure

• the CBD and South East Light Rail ($1.9 billion), planning for the Parramatta Light Rail ($64.0 million), new buses ($509.0 million) and funding for Newcastle Light Rail

• B-Line ($210.1 million in 2016-17) to deliver faster, more reliable bus journeys.

In addition, the State Government will contribute approximately $560 million to the $3.0 billion NorthConnex project.

As with the successful long-term lease of TransGrid, subsequent to the partial long-term leases of Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy, their future capital programs will no longer be included in the State Budget.

As Essential Energy will remain in full government ownership, its expenditure will continue to form part of the State capital program.

Investing in culture and sport

The Budget includes additional spending on culture and sports including:

• funding for the Western Sydney Stadium14

• $128.6 million over four years for the construction of new and upgraded production, studio, rehearsal and performance venues at the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct

• $12.0 million in 2016-17 for the Sydney Opera House to design upgrades to entry points and foyers, new creative learning and function centres, and improvements to the Concert Hall as part of Stage 1 of the Opera House’s Decade of Renewal.

Further details on the major projects listed above are included in the State Infrastructure Plan in Chapter 4 of this Infrastructure Statement.

1.4 Capital programs by agency

The ten largest agencies by level of capital investment account for $58.6 billion, or 79.9 per cent, of the total budgeted investment program over the four years to 2019-20 as shown in Chart 1.3 below.

Investment Program

1.5 Funding of the capital program

The capital program can be divided into three broad categories based on funding source. The three categories are:

• the State-funded program, including expenditure in the general government sector, public transport PNFCs, social housing, Darling Harbour Live and the State-funded contribution to WestConnex. This also includes funding provided from Restart NSW to agencies for capital works as well as finance lease arrangements underwritten by the State

• the Australian Government-funded program sourced from grants to New South Wales, for major road projects and through the Asset Recycling Initiative

• the commercial PNFC program funded by its own sources including borrowings and retained revenues.

State funding remains strong

The State-funded program, including funding from Restart NSW, is $48.5 billion over the four years to 2019-20. Chart 1.4 shows the growth in the State-funded capital investment program since 2008-09. The program increases to an average of $12.1 billion over the four years to 2019-20, 33.3 per cent higher than the four years to 2015-16 and 97.8 per cent higher than the four years to 2011-12.

Capital expenditure is expected to be higher over the four years to 2019-20, driven by spending on Sydney Metro City and Southwest. The allocation to this project is expected to reach $2.4 billion in 2017-18, making up a significant portion of spending in that year. The reduction in expenditure in 2019-20 compared to the previous three years reflects the completion and delivery of two key projects in 2018-19 – Sydney Metro Northwest, and the CBD and South East Light Rail – as well as the winding down of spending on the Pacific Highway upgrade.

Capital expenditure for the Budget and forward estimates period does not include a portion of Transport for NSW’s contribution to the Sydney Metro Northwest project ($1.7 billion) and to the CBD and South East Light Rail project ($332.9 million) which are the subject of public-private partnership (PPP) arrangements. The finished projects will, however, be recorded as an infrastructure asset.

The estimates for 2016-17 to 2019-20 do not as yet include all spending associated with the Rebuilding NSW plan. The 2016-17 Budget allocates $9.1 billion to Rebuilding NSW projects over the four years to 2019-20, including funds allocated from the Consolidated Fund. The recognition of remaining projects within the Government’s $20 billion program is contingent upon the completion of the partial lease of Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy and formal funding commitments being made. Once funding commitments are made, these will increase the capital expenditure program in the latter period of the forward estimates.

Restart NSW reservations of $1.8 billion are also not included in the capital program but will be recognised when formal commitments to fund projects are made.

Australian Government funding

The Australian Government will contribute close to $9.9 billion to the New South Wales capital investment program over the four years to 2019-20. Chart 1.5 shows the Australian Government contribution to the capital program over years 2010-11 to 2019-20, including Australian Government stimulus funding due to the Global Financial Crisis. Australian Government funded expenditure will account for around 13.4 per cent of the State’s infrastructure program in the four years to 2019-20.

Australian Government funding for the Pacific Highway upgrades is expected to peak in 2016-17, contributing to the large increase in that year. The WestConnex project is also partly funded by an Australian Government contribution with significant funding in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

The 2016-17 Budget year also includes $994.0 million to be received as an Asset Recycling Initiative payment linked mainly to the lease of electricity assets and subsequent investment in capital projects through Rebuilding NSW. The Australian Government Asset Recycling Initiative payments are expected to total $2.2 billion, with the remaining amount expected to be received following the partial lease of Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy and Rebuilding NSW milestones being met. As the long-term lease of the electricity network businesses is not fully reflected in the Budget estimates, a portion of the associated future incentive payments is also excluded from Australian Government contributions. Further incentive payments will be recognised in the Budget following the finalisation of the remaining transactions and as the Rebuilding NSW investment plan is implemented.

Australian Government Other Funded Australian Government Stimulus Funded

PNFC capital investment funding is increasing

PNFC capital investment expenditure (excluding public transport, Darling Harbour Live, Government funding for WestConnex and for social housing, which are budget funded) will total $15.0 billion over the four years to 2019-20. This includes $4.0 billion in capital spending by Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy, which will be managed by the relevant businesses once leased and no longer included in the NSW Government’s capital investment program. Capital expenditure is not included for TransGrid from 2016-17 onwards following the successful lease transaction.

Chart 1.6 shows that the PNFC funded capital program between 2010-11 and 2015-16 moderated. This is in part due to the divestment of Government businesses, principally ports and electricity generation. Also contributing to the decline is the Government’s strategy, announced in the 2012-13 Budget, to reduce electricity sector investment at a time of reduced demand, relieving pressure on consumer electricity prices.

From 2015-16 onwards, expenditure in the non-electricity sector is expected to increase, reflecting spending on the delivery of Stages 1 and 2 of WestConnex. Further details on this project can be found in Box A.3 of Appendix A.

1.6 Existing assets and maintenance program

Existing assets

The State’s physical assets comprise land and buildings, plant and equipment and infrastructure systems. Examples include hospitals, public schools, transport networks, police and court facilities, TAFE facilities, public housing and recreational facilities, as well as water storage and supply networks, electricity transmission and distribution networks and roads. Physical assets exclude inventories, intangibles and assets held for sale.

Table 1.2 shows that the State’s physical assets across both the general government and PNFC sectors had a value of $293.0 billion in June 2015. The State’s physical assets are estimated to have a value of around $306.1 billion in June 2016.

The value of physical assets, net of depreciation, is expected to increase during 2016-17 by $9.9 billion in the general government sector and by $7.8 billion in the PNFC sector to a total of $323.8 billion.

State physical assets are recorded at fair value in line with accounting policies and standards. Where practicable, fair value is measured assuming an asset’s highest and most optimal use. An asset with no feasible alternative use may be recorded at fair value for its existing use.

Chart 1.7 shows the components of the State’s physical assets. The largest component of these assets in June 2015 was infrastructure systems ($148.3 billion) which included railways, roads, ports, dams and pipelines. The remaining components comprised buildings ($68.7 billion), land ($58.6 billion) and plant and equipment ($17.4 billion). The land component value of physical assets has been separated from buildings, providing a clear distinction between built and non-built infrastructure.

Infrastructure maintenance

Agencies must ensure their infrastructure continues to support the planned delivery of services and therefore is adequately maintained.

Treasury guidelines require direct employee, contractor and external costs on infrastructure maintenance activities to be reported as part of an agency’s maintenance expenditure. Table 1.3 shows the maintenance expenditure estimates for the general government and PNFC sectors. Maintenance expenses increase over 2016-17 and 2017-18 and then decrease in 2018-19 and 2019-20. The reduction in the last two years of the forward estimates is driven by changes to the maintenance expenditure profile for education and health. To address backlog maintenance in schools, some maintenance expenditure has been accelerated to 2016-17 and 2017-18. Additionally, a greater proportion of health maintenance related items are now being capitalised and investments are being made in new health infrastructure which have a lower maintenance cost.

(a) The maintenance expenditure profile over the forward estimates reflects the Government’s allocation of $330.0 million over the next two years to address backlog maintenance in schools. The reduction in 2018-19 and 2019-20 also reflects a greater share of health maintenance related items being capitalised, and also the impact of investment in new health infrastructure which has a lower maintenance cost. Maintenance expenditure in 2016-17 excludes TransGrid, following the successful lease transaction.


2. RESTART NSW

2.1 Introduction

In 2011, the Government established the Restart NSW Fund (Restart NSW) to enable a range of high priority infrastructure projects to be funded and delivered. The strategy has enabled the Government to commit additional funding to invest in new infrastructure while maintaining the State’s triple-A credit rating.

Restart NSW is the vehicle for the delivery of the Rebuilding NSW plan, which is a plan to invest $20 billion in new infrastructure funded by the lease of 49 per cent of the State’s electricity network businesses and Australian Government Asset Recycling Incentive payments. These proceeds are first deposited into Restart NSW before being invested into Rebuilding NSW projects.

Chapter 3 sets out in detail the implementation of the Rebuilding NSW plan, including the nominated projects, and the progress to date in delivering that plan and those projects.

The Government’s strategy for using Restart NSW has two key elements:

• the securing of additional monies for investment. This includes the proceeds of asset recycling, windfall taxation revenues and Waratah Bonds

• the systematic identification of priority projects to improve the economic growth and productivity of the State.

The forecast 30 June 2016 amount deposited into Restart NSW is estimated at $16.5 billion, as summarised in Table 2.5.

A total of $14.6 billion has been committed, and budgeted, to be spent on infrastructure projects from Restart NSW, and includes $9.3 billion for the Rebuilding NSW plan. These commitments are summarised in Table 2.2 and include funding for projects being delivered by State and Local Government, and community organisations.

A further $1.8 billion has been reserved for identified projects and programs, subject to further investigation and review of individual project plans and business cases. These reservations are summarised in Table 2.3.

This chapter summarises the activities of Restart NSW, the governance framework that applies to the selection of all projects and provides detail on the projects (other than Rebuilding NSW projects), which have either been committed to or are the subject of a reservation. Rebuilding NSW projects are detailed in Chapter 3 of this Infrastructure Statement.

Restart NSW

2.2 Restart NSW governance and project selection framework

The Government has developed a robust governance framework to ensure the effective investment of Restart NSW funds.

The Restart NSW Fund Act 2011 (the Restart Act) provides the Government, through the Treasurer, with enhanced oversight of Restart NSW expenditure and sets out the process for the allocation of funds.

The Restart Act accords Infrastructure NSW (INSW) the responsibility of independently assessing projects and making recommendations to the Treasurer.

New infrastructure projects considered for Restart NSW funding are subject to a rigorous selection process. Projects selected for delivery must be supported by a sound business case showing the project is financially and economically justifiable. The key components of the project assessment framework are:

• strategic assessment to ensure the project aligns with the Restart Act criteria, existing government priorities and Restart NSW investment themes

• economic assessment to ensure the project is expected to produce a net economic benefit and improve economic growth and productivity in the State (demonstrated by a benefit-cost ratio greater than 1)

• Gateway assurance which is an independent review process to ensure the project has successfully completed the appropriate business case development processes.

As well as the elements outlined above, the Government remains focused on exploring innovative procurement and financing strategies and ensuring projects funded from Restart NSW are accompanied by sound delivery strategies, for example see Box 2.1.

Box 2.1: NorthConnex (including M7 Monetisation and LCT transaction)

Project: NorthConnex is a nine kilometre tunnel motorway linking the M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga to the Hills M2 Motorway at West Pennant Hills.

Funding allocation: The $3 billion project will be mainly funded through private financing supported by toll charges with additional State Government contributions of $560 million and $405 million from the Australian Government.

In line with its asset recycling strategy, the Government has monetised a stream of annual M7 Motorway concessionaire rental payments and the additional proceeds from the Lane Cove Tunnel concession transaction, and reinvested these proceeds into the Government contribution.

Service delivery objective: The primary objectives of NorthConnex are to reduce the number of heavy vehicles on Pennant Hills Road and ease congestion for Sydney motorists.

Implementation: Major construction work commenced in 2015 and the tunnel is expected to open to traffic in late 2019. The timeline for delivery is consistent with the Premier’s Priority to deliver key infrastructure projects on time and on budget across the state.

Outcomes: The NorthConnex motorway will:

• increase transport reliability for people, businesses and freight on the motorway network

• help ease traffic congestion by avoiding 21 traffic lights on Pennant Hills Road

• move up to 5,000 trucks per day off Pennant Hills Road

• improve local traffic conditions and amenities.


Restart NSW

2.3 Overview of Restart NSW commitments

Table 2.2 sets out the budgeted Restart NSW funding commitments, noting that the Rebuilding NSW programs and projects are set out in more detail in Chapter 3 of this Infrastructure Statement.

There has been a significant increase in Restart NSW commitments since the 2015-16 Budget of approximately $9.7 billion. The principal components of this increase include:

• Rebuilding NSW projects including Sydney Metro City and Southwest ($7.0 billion), Existing Network Enhancements (previously Sydney Rail Futures 2) ($1.0 billion), Bus Priority Infrastructure (including B-Line) ($290.4 million) and the Fixing Country Roads program ($50.0 million)

• Northern Beaches Hospital, Road Connectivity and Network Enhancement ($348.0 million)

• Grafton Bridge ($177.0 million)

• Regional Tourism Infrastructure program ($97.3 million)

• Parramatta Light Rail planning ($64.0 million).

Table 2.6 provides a complete reconciliation of the movement in commitments from the 2015-16 Budget. Further details for Rebuilding NSW projects are provided in Chapter 3 of this Infrastructure Statement.

2.4 Restart NSW reservations

Restart NSW reservations are funds reserved with a view to a future Restart NSW commitment, at which time expenditure on projects will be included in the Budget aggregates. This is following further project development and completion of project assurance processes, including final business case approval. A Restart NSW reservation can only become a commitment, and budgeted for, once the Treasurer has accepted a specific INSW recommendation for each individual project, as required by the Restart Act.

Table 2.3 sets out the current Restart NSW reservations. Table 2.7 sets out the movements in reservations since the 2015-16 Budget. New reservations include $80.0 million for cycling infrastructure and $23.0 million for the Resources for Regions program.

The Northern Beaches Hospital Road Connectivity and Network Enhancement (Box 2.2) is an example of a project for which funds were reserved pending the detailed development of a business case.

Box 2.2: Northern Beaches Hospital Road Connectivity and Network Enhancement

Project: Northern Beaches Hospital Road Connectivity and Network Enhancement involves upgrading key roads, shared pedestrian and cyclist bridges and pathways around the new Northern Beaches Hospital.

Funding allocation: The Budget allocates $160.0 million to this package of works in 2016-17. The estimated total cost is $500 million, with $358.0 million funded from Restart NSW.

Service delivery objective: The upgrades will improve access to the Northern Beaches Hospital at Frenchs Forest, including for pedestrians and cyclists, and support growing travel demand from the local community. It will also increase the accessibility of the hospital for patients, staff and visitors. The upgrades will also improve traffic flow across the road network through targeted changes to road configuration.

Implementation: Construction is underway, with planning approval obtained for Stage 1 of the Hospital Connectivity Works in June 2015, and for Stage 2 of the Network Enhancement Works in February 2016. The road works will be completed in time for the opening of the Northern Beaches Hospital in 2018.

Outcomes: Northern Beaches Hospital Road Connectivity and Network Enhancement will:

• help ease traffic congestion and improve travel times

• enhance hospital access and support emergency responses

• provide new shared bridges and paths for pedestrians and cyclists.


Restart NSW

2.5 Investing in regional New South Wales

The Government is committed to investing in regional New South Wales to support long term economic growth and strong communities. In aggregate, 30 per cent of Restart NSW’s investment portfolio is targeted at regions outside the metropolitan areas of Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong, of which ten per cent is targeted at the Resources for Regions program.

Since the 2015-16 Budget there are new expenditure commitments of $377.2 million for projects in regional New South Wales, including:

• $177.0 million for Grafton Bridge

• $97.3 million for the Regional Tourism Infrastructure program

• $83.3 million for the Water Security for Regions program

• $9.0 million for the Regional Health Infrastructure program.

These projects will make significant contributions to supporting tourism infrastructure, improving health infrastructure and services, and addressing water security issues in regional communities.

Investing in regional infrastructure is a key priority of the Government. There are 18 Restart NSW programs that are delivering priority infrastructure to regional areas of the State. There are 11 Restart NSW programs (not including the Rebuilding NSW plan) that will make significant contributions to alleviating congestion, lifting freight productivity and addressing water security issues in regional communities as set out in Box 2.3.

Box 2.3: Restart NSW Fund - regional investment

Regional infrastructure needs are recognised through 11 programs (not including the Rebuilding NSW plan).1

Restart NSW

The Rebuilding NSW plan also provides additional funding for programs (in total $6.0 billion) that will make significant contributions to regional New South Wales (see Chapter 3).

Box 2.4: Resources for Regions

Program: The Resources for Regions program supports regional and rural New South Wales communities impacted by mining. By addressing infrastructure constraints, the attractiveness of these communities as vibrant places to live and do business will increase. Both economic and social infrastructure projects are supported by the program.

Projects cover health, water, road, education, and tourism sectors and town renewals, including Muswellbrook Hospital Redevelopment Stage 2, Narrabri Water Supply Augmentation and replacing the Portland waste water treatment plant. Appendix B provides a detailed list of Resources for Regions projects.

The Resources for Regions program aligns with the objectives of Restart NSW by improving infrastructure in regional areas that are impacted by mining operations and therefore improving the economic growth and productivity of the State.

Funding allocation: Since 2012, the Government has set aside $239.9 million to support mining impacted communities. Already $207.9 million has been committed to 32 projects across the State.

Implementation: Expressions of Interest (EOIs) were advertised in 2015-16 for the Resources for Regions program. EOIs have been shortlisted against four program criteria: strategic assessment, economic assessment, affordability and deliverability. Successful projects will be announced later in 2016-17.

Box 2.5: Regional Tourism Infrastructure

Program: The Regional Tourism Infrastructure program supports the development and growth of regional tourism by investing in critical visitor economy infrastructure. The visitor economy is an important contributor to many regional New South Wales communities, and improved infrastructure will attract more visitors across the State. This program meets the objectives of Restart NSW by increasing transport opportunities and strengthening the economic competitiveness and diversity of the State.

Currently the program focuses on boosting airport capacity and safety. This will help expand travel opportunities for domestic and international tourists and support domestic businesses.

Funding allocation: In the 2014-15 Budget the Government reserved $110.0 million for the Regional Tourism Infrastructure program. The Government has committed $69.8 million to 27 airport projects across the State and an additional $27.5 million to the Port Eden Breakwater Wharf project. Appendix B provides a detailed list of Regional Tourism Infrastructure projects.

Implementation: The 27 airport projects across the State include passenger terminal upgrades, improving lighting to support airport expansion and expanding runways and aircraft parking to accommodate larger planes.

3. REBUILDING NSW

3.1 Introduction

Rebuilding NSW is the Government’s plan to invest $20 billion in new infrastructure, funded from the lease of 49 per cent of NSW electricity networks and Australian Government Asset Recycling Incentive payments.

A total of $10.2 billion has now been committed to the $20 billion Rebuilding NSW plan (see Table 3.1). This includes $1.0 billion forecast to be spent in 2015-16 and a further $2.3 billion allocated in 2016-17.

The focus of Rebuilding NSW is on investments that increase productivity and improve the State’s overall economic performance. This significant package will drive economic growth and create opportunities across the State, ensuring all members of the community benefit from improvements in transport, education, health, water, sports and arts infrastructure.

To ensure benefits are spread across all of New South Wales, the Government has committed to invest 30 per cent of the Rebuilding NSW Plan (or $6.0 billion) on projects located outside metropolitan Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong.

The Rebuilding NSW projects and programs were set out in the Rebuilding NSW State Infrastructure Strategy 2014 (SIS 2014) prepared by the Government following advice from INSW.

Because the Rebuilding NSW proceeds will be deposited into the Restart NSW Fund (Restart NSW), INSW will continue to play a critical role in assessing the projects and making specific funding recommendations to the Government. As a result, Rebuilding NSW projects will be governed by the same framework that has been successfully applied to the $5.3 billion of other Restart NSW project commitments.

3.2 Rebuilding NSW plan

In November 2014, the NSW Government articulated the Rebuilding NSW plan based on 30 investment recommendations for the next round of critical infrastructure projects and programs for New South Wales. The Rebuilding NSW plan will reduce congestion, support population growth and stimulate productivity across Sydney and regional New South Wales.

In addition to accelerating a number of Rebuilding NSW initiatives, a number of programs and projects for Rebuilding NSW are now included in the 2016-17 Budget. This follows the successful lease transaction for TransGrid and INSW assessment of the projects considered for funding. As at the 2016-17 Budget, the $20 billion Rebuilding NSW plan is summarised in Table 3.1.

3.3 Delivering Rebuilding NSW

Rebuilding NSW commitments

A total of $10.2 billion has now been committed to the $20 billion Rebuilding NSW plan (see Table 3.1). This includes $1.0 billion budgeted to be spent in 2015-16 and a further $2.3 billion allocated in 2016-17.

Since the 2015-16 Budget, a further $9.2 billion has been committed from Restart NSW to deliver the $20 billion Rebuilding NSW plan.


Rebuilding NSW

Urban public transport

Public transport is critical to urban productivity, expanding employment opportunities by connecting people to jobs, reducing congestion, and driving urban renewal. The Rebuilding NSW plan includes $8.9 billion for the urban public transport priority area, with $8.3 billion committed since the 2015-16 Budget1 for:

• Sydney Metro City and Southwest ($7.0 billion) (Box 3.1)

• Existing Network Enhancements (previously Sydney's Rail Future Stage 2) ($1.0 billion) (Box 3.2)

• Bus Priority Infrastructure (including B-Line) ($290.4 million) (Box 3.5).

Box 3.1: Sydney Metro City and Southwest

Project: Sydney Metro City and Southwest is a new 30 kilometre metro line linking with Sydney Metro Northwest at Chatswood, through new stations in the lower North Shore, a line under Sydney Harbour and then through the CBD and southwest to Bankstown. Delivery is expected for 2024 with the capacity to deliver metro services every two minutes during peak hour.

Funding allocation: The Government has committed $7.0 billion of proceeds from the Rebuilding NSW plan for the project. This will be combined with funding from within Transport for NSW’s ongoing allocations to fully fund the project. This Budget allocates $1.4 billion in 2016-17 and $6.2 billion over the Budget and forward estimates period.

Service delivery objective: Sydney Metro City and Southwest, together with the Existing Network Enhancements project, will deliver on the strategic vision outlined in Sydney's Rail Future. These projects combined will provide more regular and faster services across the Sydney rail network. These projects will reduce crowding at stations and on services and will improve reliability across the entire network. It is expected to result in around 30 million fewer car trips annually in 2036.

Implementation: Major construction will begin next year, with the first tunnel boring machine to be in the ground before the end of 2018. New twin railway tunnels will be constructed, stretching 15.5 kilometres from Chatswood to Sydenham, including a second rail crossing of more than 40 metres below the Sydney Harbour. A specialised tunnel boring machine combining two types of tunneling technology will be required to deal with the unique conditions.

Outcomes: Sydney Metro City and Southwest will:

• reduce travel times between key centres

• improve reliability across the entire Sydney transport network

• drive economic growth by supporting jobs and business growth along its route

• improve access to jobs and reduce congestion

• create housing and employment opportunities along the line.

1 Some expenditure against these commitments has occurred in 2015-16.


Rebuilding NSW

Box 3.2: Existing Network Enhancements

Project: Existing Network Enhancements will deliver on key commitments made as part of the second stage of Sydney's Rail Future including integrating the South West Rail Link and Sydney Metro Northwest with the rest of the heavy rail network.

Funding allocation: The Government has committed proceeds from the Rebuilding NSW initiative for the project. The 2016-17 Budget has allocated $407 million in 2016-17 to plan, develop and deliver rail infrastructure and improve fleet reliability.

Service delivery objective: The primary objective of the Existing Network Enhancements project is to ease congestion of the rail network and deliver new, more frequent and reliable train services.

Implementation: Work has started on the planning and delivery of the project which is expected to be completed by December 2019.

Outcomes: The Existing Network Enhancements project will:

• provide a modern fully air-conditioned and reliable train fleet

• increase the frequency of available train services across the rail network

• help ease rail congestion and improve travel times, particularly during peak hours

• enhance the operational efficiency of the rail network by improving flow and balancing service loads.

Water security

The Rebuilding NSW plan includes $1.0 billion for the Regional Water Security and Supply Fund to address water challenges faced by regional communities in New South Wales, including Cobar and Broken Hill. This includes addressing deficiencies in drinking water quality, capacity to meet water demand, drought security, dam safety and inadequate wastewater treatment.

New expenditure commitments since the 2015-16 Budget include funding to ensure the long term security of Broken Hill’s water supply (Box 3.3).

Box 3.3: Broken Hill Water Supply

Project: To ensure long term water security for Broken Hill, a 270 kilometre long pipeline will be built that will source water from the Murray River and pump it directly to the existing water treatment plant in Broken Hill.

Funding allocation: The Government has allocated around $500 million from the Restart NSW Fund (including funds allocated in the Rebuilding NSW plan) for Broken Hill’s water supply. The funding is a centrepiece of the broader Water Security for Regions program. The long-term water supply project is the culmination of a range of Broken Hill water development projects funded from Restart NSW in 2014-15 and 2015-16, totalling $54.3 million.

Service delivery objective: Water security, water quality and the long-term cost of water are vital community concerns for all residents in the State. Broken Hill and surrounding communities have suffered from significant water shortages and uncertainty over decades with resulting consequences for community health and well-being, economic development and general household and business confidence.

Implementation: Work has started on planning and scoping the project. The pipeline is due to be completed in late 2018.

Outcomes: The Murray River to Broken Hill pipeline will:

• provide a secure long term water source for Broken Hill and surrounding communities

• improve business confidence and support economic growth in the Broken Hill region

• improve residents’ health and quality of life through the provision of high quality and secure water. The health and well-being benefits result from greater lead dust suppression and operation of evaporative air coolers

• benefit irrigation communities in New South Wales through more effective use of a limited water resource.


Rebuilding NSW

Sports and cultural infrastructure

The Rebuilding NSW plan includes $1.5 billion for the culture and sport priority area. New expenditure commitments since the 2015-16 Budget include funding for Western Sydney Stadium (Box 3.4) and planning for an indoor sports facility.

Box 3.4: Western Sydney Stadium

Project: The Western Sydney Stadium will be a new venue constructed on the existing Pirtek Stadium site at Parramatta.

Funding allocation: The project will be funded from the $600 million Sports Stadia Fund in Rebuilding NSW. A call for expressions of interest was released in June 2016.

Service delivery objective: The investment in the stadium will support the Government’s priorities in building infrastructure and is a key initiative to rebuild and improve the stadia network in New South Wales.

Implementation: The project has been approved and planning is well advanced. The project will be delivered by INSW on behalf of Venues NSW. Construction is expected to begin in the 2016-17 financial year.

Outcomes: The Western Sydney Stadium is the first of a sequence of planned stadia projects which will:

• boost the Government’s capacity to attract premium international and national level events to New South Wales

• consolidate the State’s stadia, particularly in Greater Sydney

• serve to transfer economic activity to New South Wales (including Western Sydney) and drive economic benefits through productivity and participation

• improve liveability of Greater Sydney, particularly through the increase in the prominence of sport, entertainment and community activity at venues and surrounding precincts

• support the growth of Greater Parramatta as Sydney’s second CBD under A Plan for Growing Sydney, the Government’s plan for the future of the Sydney Metropolitan Area over the next 20 years.

Consolidated Fund advances

A total of $929.1 million in Consolidated Fund advances have now been committed (as set out in Table 3.1) to progress planning for Rebuilding NSW projects and to start specific critical works identified in the SIS 2014. The 2016-17 Budget provides $484.5 million in funding to 2019-20, including:

• Future Focused Schools and Regional Schools Renewal program ($163.0 million)

• Culture and Arts ($140.6 million)

• Regional Road Freight Corridor ($52.2 million)

• Primary and Integrated Care Strategy ($48.5 million)

• Regional Growth Roads ($25.0 million)

• Smart Motorways ($21.3 million)

• Fixing Country Rail ($11.0 million)

• Traffic Management Upgrades ($9.5 million)

• Bridges for the Bush ($7.4 million)

• Gateway to the South ($6.0 million).


Rebuilding NSW

The undertaking of early planning achieves the objectives of:

• addressing the requirements of INSW, whose recommendation of individual projects is a precondition to funding from the Rebuilding NSW proceeds

• avoiding delays in the implementation of the programs when the Rebuilding NSW funding is available

• ensuring the projects selected are the best value for money for achieving the program’s objectives.

Funding for these Rebuilding NSW acceleration initiatives follow on from the acceleration initiatives in the 2015-16 Budget.

2015-16 Budget Rebuilding NSW acceleration update

The 2015-16 Budget provided $590.6 million over four years to prepare for the delivery of major projects and programs and to start specific critical works identified in the SIS 2014. Of this, $444.6 million was allocated from the Consolidated Fund and the remaining $146.0 million was a contribution from Restart NSW. New expenditure commitments since the 2015-16 Budget as a result of the acceleration of planning include the Existing Network Enhancements and B-Line projects (Box 3.5).

Box 3.5: B-Line (Northern Beaches)

Project: The B-Line is an integrated package of services and infrastructure to deliver better bus services for customers travelling between the Northern Beaches and Sydney CBD.

Funding allocation: The 2016-17 Budget has allocated $210 million in 2016-17 to the delivery of this project.

Service delivery objective: The primary objective of the B-Line is to deliver a new, more frequent and reliable bus service for Northern Beaches customers.

Implementation: The first B-Line services are expected to be operational in late 2017, while the existing bus service changes and infrastructure enhancements will be delivered in a staged approach starting from early 2016.

Outcomes: The B-Line will provide several improvements for residents and motorists, including:

• more frequent and reliable bus services

• reduced congestion and shorter travel times

• a simpler bus network with fewer vehicles on the bus route between Northern Beaches and Sydney CBD, improving safety and local air quality and reducing traffic noise.

3.4 Investing in regional New South Wales

The Government is committed to investing in regional New South Wales to support long term economic growth and strong communities. In aggregate, $6.0 billion of the Rebuilding NSW plan is directed to regions outside the metropolitan areas of Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong.

Investing in regional infrastructure is a key priority of the Government. The Rebuilding NSW plan provides additional funding for nine programs that will make significant contributions to improving access to education and health services, lifting freight productivity and addressing water security issues in regional communities.

Regional Water Security and Supply Fund

Secures water supplies and drought-proofs regional communities including dams and bores.

The funding provided by the Rebuilding NSW plan for these programs (in total $6.0 billion), is in addition to the funding provided for the other 11 Restart NSW Fund programs (approximately $935 million at 30 June 2016) and will make significant contributions to regional New South Wales (see Chapter 2).

Box 3.7: Fixing Country Roads program

Program: The Government’s Fixing Country Roads program (part of the Restart NSW Fund) is designed to remove network pinch points also known as ‘last mile’ hotspots that constrain the efficient movement of freight. The program funding is for projects on council owned roads and bridges.

Fixing Country Roads targets projects that better connect local roads to state highways and key freight hubs such as silos, saleyards, rail heads, supermarket distribution centres, industrial parks and depots. These connections help freight get from paddock and factory to their customer and port faster thereby reducing costs and enabling New South Wales’ producers and manufacturers to compete nationally and internationally.

Funding allocation: The 2015-16 Budget included a $43 million Restart NSW reservation for Fixing Country Roads projects across New South Wales. In the 2016-17 Budget, the Government budgeted a further $50.0 million in funding for Fixing Country Roads projects. The total value of Round 2 projects, including those with funding through additional contributions from Australian Government programs, local councils and industry, is $130.8 million.

Service delivery objective: To provide funds to councils to upgrade local infrastructure and assist freight operators, agricultural industries and regional communities right across the State.

Implementation: The road and bridge projects were selected by an independent assessment panel for their capacity to boost freight productivity and ease network capacity constraints on key freight roads.

4. STATE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN

4.1 Introduction

This State Infrastructure Plan (SIP) outlines the major projects that have been funded for delivery in the period 2016-17 to 2020-21.

The SIP represents the Government’s program of specific major infrastructure projects identified as priorities for delivery over the next five years.

The 2016-17 SIP reflects the start of the delivery phase for many significant projects. As part of this Budget, Government investment commitments will see new projects get underway, building on the significant progress made in 2015-16, including:

• Sydney Metro City and Southwest, which now has a finalised project scope, including a new Waterloo station, has started its planning approval process, with major construction due to start next year

• WestConnex Stage 2, with the upgrade of the King Georges Interchange half completed and planning approval in place for the new M5

• Pacific Highway duplication, with 62 per cent of the highway now duplicated and a further 145 kilometres currently under construction

• a site selected for a new Grafton correctional facility

• the investment in a new Western Sydney Stadium at Parramatta, with major construction expected to start in early 2017 for completion in 2019

• investment in new rail network enhancements and fleet availability to integrate Sydney Metro Northwest and the South West Rail Link and provide more express services for Western Sydney.

The development of this SIP was informed by independent advice submitted to the Premier by Infrastructure NSW (INSW), pursuant to Section 2 of the Infrastructure NSW Act 2011.

4.2 Governance and assurance

In 2015-16, the Government adopted and implemented an Infrastructure Investment Assurance Framework (IIAF). The purpose of the IIAF is to ensure the State’s capital projects are being effectively developed and delivered efficiently, on time, on budget, and in accordance with the Government’s objectives. The framework includes the creation of the Infrastructure Investment Assurance Committee (IIAC), chaired by INSW and comprising the heads of key agencies. The IIAC’s role is to advise the Government on the development, procurement, delivery, governance and management of infrastructure projects, with a focus on High Profile/High Risk (HPHR) projects.

The IIAF adopts a risk-based approach to investor assurance where more scrutiny is applied to projects with higher risk and higher cost. Projects identified as HPHR are given particular attention and oversight. The IIAC’s role is to support the Premier and the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure with effective tools to monitor the Government’s infrastructure program, receive early warning of any emerging issues, and ensure Government is able to act ahead of time to prevent further issues arising. This, in turn, enables the Government to act as an informed investor, confident that new capital is being used efficiently and effectively to further the Government’s objectives for New South Wales.


State Infrastructure Plan

4.3 The role of this State Infrastructure Plan

Good infrastructure is a key foundation of New South Wales’ economic and social prosperity. Sound infrastructure investments can increase economic opportunities available to the people of New South Wales, improve the quality of services and enhance the social connections that communities rely on in day to day life.

In considering and prioritising new investments, the Government carefully considers the opportunities each investment proposal can unlock. Funded projects are then managed to ensure that projects are delivered efficiently, on time and on budget, in a way that ensures the targeted outcomes are realised for the people of New South Wales.

In formulating the SIP, the Government has aligned its investment decisions with its vision for the future of the State and its communities. The section below sets out the central priorities of the Government that have informed this SIP, and how the priority projects connect to a stronger, more prosperous future for New South Wales.

4.4 Priorities for New South Wales

In September 2015, the Premier announced 30 State Priorities for the Government’s vision of a stronger, more prosperous NSW. Within these commitments, the Premier has nominated 12 priorities to provide particular focus on ways of making the State a better place to live and work.

NSW State priorities relating to infrastructure include:

• improving road travel reliability

• ensuring on-time running for public transport

• increasing housing supply across New South Wales by delivering more than 50,000 new approvals every year

• creating sustainable social housing and increasing the number of households successfully transitioning out of social housing by five per cent over three years

• cutting wait times for planned surgeries

• increasing cultural participation.

With these priorities in place, agencies can plan and develop investment proposals more effectively, and position the Government to make more consistent and better integrated investment decisions over time.

A Plan for Growing Sydney, District Plans



Figure 1 above shows the intended alignment between the priorities, planning and investment decision making.

Each Government priority has helped shape the decisions informing the 2016-17 Budget. However, some priorities are of particular relevance when considering investment proposals.

For example, one of the Premier’s Priorities is building infrastructure on time and on budget in order to alleviate the pressures that population growth can have on existing infrastructure. A number of other priorities also bear a close relationship to infrastructure investment, including:

• creating jobs, with a target of 150,000 jobs in this term of office

• faster housing approvals, with 90 per cent of approvals determined within 40 days

• improving government services, as measured by customer satisfaction.

These objectives are central to the Government’s aspirations for the future. The following sections set out the links between the Government’s vision, and the way in which the projects in this SIP have been identified, developed, and prioritised for New South Wales.

4.5 Passenger trains

The metropolitan rail network not only plays an essential role in ensuring quality of life for those who work or live in Greater Sydney, but also is a key enabler of economic activity across the entire State.

The strategic direction for the rail network was detailed in Sydney’s Rail Future, which included new infrastructure and modes of service delivered in parallel with operational efficiencies and improvements to the customer experience. The Budget allocates more than $1 billion over four years for growth trains on the suburban passenger network. Passenger rail projects include:

• Sydney Metro City and Southwest, a new 30 kilometre metro line linking with Sydney Metro Northwest at Chatswood, with new stations in the lower North Shore, a line under Sydney Harbour and through the CBD, including stations at Barangaroo and Waterloo, and southwest to Bankstown

• Existing Network Enhancements, including station upgrades and accessibility

• Next Generation Rail Fleet to deliver a new fleet of state of the art intercity trains

• Commencement of replacement of the 30 year old XPT fleet.

Delivery of the following major projects and programs continues in this SIP in order to support the strategic direction for rail.

Table 4.1: Major projects and programs for passenger trains

Project Name Estimated Total Cost Description

Sydney Metro Northwest $8.3 billion 23 kilometre network from Epping to beyond Rouse Hill in North West Sydney as part of the new Sydney Metro Network

Transport Access Program $280.3 million (2016-17) Improvements to provide a better experience for public transport customers by delivering accessible, modern, secure and integrated transport infrastructure where it is needed most.

Existing Network Enhancements $406.6 million (2016-17) Enhancements to infrastructure and fleet to provide increased and improved rail services, including more express services to Western Sydney.

4.6 Urban roads

Roads are a critical class of infrastructure. Private vehicles, bus services, and freight are all served by road infrastructure, with around 80 per cent of Sydney’s passenger and freight movements made by road. Congested roads carry significant costs in terms of higher freight costs and longer commuter journeys. This combination, in turn, has measurable costs in terms of reduced productivity and economic growth.

Road infrastructure investment is not only about delivering new roads, but also about targeting bottlenecks on existing corridors. These investments, in aggregate, boost productivity, grow the economy and create new jobs by reducing congestion across the network.

The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s urban road infrastructure:

• upgrading and improving the efficiency of urban roads

• completing the missing links on Sydney’s motorway network

• identifying new road corridors and improving connections to and within Sydney’s growth centres.

The following major projects (Table 4.2) include those currently underway and those to commence over the five years of this SIP. These will support achieving State Priorities of on time running for peak travel and public transport services.



Table 4.2: Major projects for urban roads


WestConnex $16.8 billion Widening and extending the M4 and M5 and joining them together to form a continuous free flowing motorway, with connections to northern and southern Sydney. The project is being delivered in three stages – Stage 1 from Parramatta to the City West Link, Stage 2 is the New M5 East, including the Enhanced Sydney Gateway, and Stage 3 from the City West Link to St Peters.

WestConnex will help alleviate Sydney’s congestion program. It will deliver more than $20 billion of economic benefits, serve more than 480,000 travelers per day, and is estimated to help drivers bypass up to 52 sets of traffic lights.

4.7 Buses and light rail

Buses are the primary form of public transport for many people across areas of Greater Sydney. Sydney’s Bus Future sets out a detailed strategic direction for the Sydney bus network to deliver simpler, faster and better bus services for customers. Buses provide flexible services and bus rapid transit infrastructure can deliver high capacity at relatively low cost.



Light rail is set to play a much greater role in moving people around Sydney and Newcastle in the future, with major work on delivery of the CBD and South East Light Rail commenced and Newcastle Light Rail currently in the planning process. Once the CBD and South East Light Rail is complete in 2019, it will add to the current light rail network between Central and Dulwich Hill via Pyrmont and Lilyfield. Planning work for an integrated light rail solution for the Parramatta area, running between Westmead and Homebush via the Parramatta CBD, is also funded in this SIP.

The following major projects in Table 4.3, currently underway or expected to commence within the next five years, will contribute to delivering the Government’s priorities.

4.8 Ferries

Ferry services provide a practical commute to Sydney’s CBD for customers that reside close to Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River. Ferries play a unique role in supporting Sydney’s transport task and taking pressure off land based infrastructure in Greater Sydney, with benefits in reducing congestion across other modes of transport.

The following major projects in Table 4.4, currently underway or expected to commence within the next five years, will contribute to delivering the Government’s priorities.

Table 4.4: Major projects for ferries

Barangaroo Ferry Wharf $17.2 million (2016-17) To construct a new dual berth ferry wharf at Barangaroo precinct.

Ferry Fleet Replacement $51.6 million To replace some of Sydney’s iconic First Fleet Ferries.

4.9 Regional and interstate transport

Safe, efficient and reliable transport connections are vital to regional communities and businesses. Regional and interstate transport infrastructure supports the economy and quality of life of New South Wales by connecting regional communities, allowing people to access employment opportunities, and supporting freight movements.



Key regional and interstate transport infrastructure strategic priorities include:

• upgrading regional road and rail networks, particularly those linking the regions with Sydney and interstate destinations

• supporting improvements on the major freight rail routes

• reserving regional transport corridors and investigating future investment requirements.

The following major projects in Table 4.5, currently underway or expected to commence within the next five years, will contribute to delivering Government’s priorities and growing the economies of regional New South Wales.

4.10 International gateways

Efficient, reliable access to and from the State’s international gateways supports some of the State’s most important journeys and is a critical element in sustaining the future productivity and competitiveness of Sydney and New South Wales.

Significant growth is forecast over the next 20 years in interstate and international travel and movement of freight. Sydney Airport and Port Botany are already the busiest airport and second-busiest container port in the country, respectively. Together they link the people of New South Wales, tourists, and exported goods to other states and international markets.

Meeting this growth presents a challenge. Sydney Airport’s capacity is limited by hourly movements and curfew, which constrains medium term demand growth. While Port Botany and Sydney Airport can absorb some of the task in accommodating freight growth, a second Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek is a critical step in underwriting continued economic growth for both New South Wales and Australia.

The following strategic priorities are accommodated over the life of this SIP:

• planning for a new airport at Badgerys Creek and delivering the supporting road upgrades

• delivering improvements to the Sydney Airport precinct’s road network

• improving public transport to Sydney Airport

• improving utilisation of regional airports

• improving freight rail

• upgrading major motorway connections to the port and airport precinct

• delivering improvements to the precinct’s road network.

The following major projects in Table 4.6, currently underway or expected to commence within the next five years, will deliver on this strategic vision.



Table 4.6: Major projects for international gateways

(a) The estimated total cost has not been included due to its commercially sensitive nature.

4.11 Energy

The electricity industry in New South Wales operates as part of the National Electricity Market and comprises generation, transmission, distribution and retail. The ownership structure of the industry has changed significantly over the past few years, with the sale of Government-owned electricity retailers and generation facilities. More recently, the successful long-term lease for the high voltage network TransGrid was finalised. The partial long-term lease of the low voltage distribution network Ausgrid is now underway and the transactions process for Endeavour Energy will proceed in the coming period. Further, the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal’s 2014-15 review found that electricity market competition is effective in New South Wales.

The market environment in New South Wales is also changing. A number of coal-based generators across the State are proposed for closure. Renewable energy sources continue to increase, with approximately one third of installed capacity in New South Wales in the form of renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaics, wind and hydro generation. Also, total electricity demand per capita in New South Wales has declined each year since 2009, even as gross state product has continued to grow. Finally, the Government has committed to a market-led, voluntary roll-out of advanced meters in New South Wales to facilitate energy market innovation.

The eastern Australian gas market is also facing a period of significant change in both supply and demand over the coming years. New South Wales is heavily dependent on gas supplied from other States. The Government, through the NSW Gas Plan, is creating a framework to secure gas supplies for New South Wales by establishing a safe, secure gas industry in the state.



Combined with rapid advancements in energy generation, storage and efficiency technologies, these trends present a number of challenges and opportunities in ensuring customers have access to secure, competitive and affordable energy. The following actions are strategic priorities for the State’s electricity infrastructure:

• the long-term lease of 49 per cent of the electricity transmission and distribution networks, with the successful long-term lease of TransGrid now finalised and the partial long-term lease of Ausgrid now underway to drive further efficiencies and yield benefits to consumers

• developing the State’s resources responsibly

• exploring opportunities presented by emerging energy generation, storage, and efficiency technologies

• increasing renewable energy generation in New South Wales through the NSW Renewable Energy Action Plan

• implementing 30 actions to drive energy efficiency through the Energy Efficiency Action Plan

• implementing clear and effective standards and policies for water and energy use, and waste management in government operations through the NSW Government Resource Efficiency Policy.

4.12 Water

Record temperatures and extended periods of hot and dry weather have been experienced across New South Wales in recent years.

Water security underpins the economic prosperity of our regional towns and centres. It is fundamental to driving the sustainable growth of our $12 billion primary industries sector. The Government has established a dedicated $1 billion Regional Water Security and Supply Fund as part of the Rebuilding NSW initiative in order to respond to water challenges.

The Government will continue to improve water infrastructure so that regional communities have a secure, sustainable and affordable water supply that meets drinking water quality and effluent guidelines. The Regional Water Security and Supply Fund will ensure regional communities have reliable access to good quality water supplies by replacing aged assets and bringing systems up to modern standards.

Securing Broken Hill’s water supply will be a key priority in 2016-17 (see Box 3.3). The investment supports New South Wales commitments under the Murray Darling Basin Plan and will bring significant catchment-wide benefits for northern and southern irrigation industries. Under the proposal, Broken Hill will no longer rely on Menindee Lakes. This will enable New South Wales to keep more water in productive use within the Murray Darling Basin Plan and realise the full economic value of this precious water resource.

Restart NSW also continues to fund a range of smaller local infrastructure projects in order to improve water security in the regions. At Cobar, the Albert Priest Channel project will save 4,000 mega litres of water per annum, meaning that the frequent and severe water restrictions being imposed in Nyngan and Cobar can be eased. There are another 33 approved drought projects under the Water Security for Regions program. Infrastructure NSW is assessing a further 45 projects for funding under the Regional Water and Wastewater Backlog program. This initiative follows on from over $230 million spent since 2011 on 35 projects under the Country Towns Water Supply and Sewerage Program providing capital funding for water supply and sewerage projects to water utilities.

The Government continues its reform program to ensure that the best functional arrangements are in place to deliver secure and safe drinking water supplies throughout New South Wales. The second stage of the reforms involves the realignment of functions between the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI Water) and Water NSW to remove duplication and inefficiencies within current operations and services. DPI Water will continue to produce strategic water policy and planning advice while developing and enhancing a range of water monitoring, regulation and reporting functions to support productive and sustainable management of the State’s water resources.



The Government has allocated $58.5 million over the next four years (2016-17 to 2019-20) to implement Stage One of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley Flood Risk Management Strategy. There has been $30.3 million allocated over four years to undertake detailed concept designs, environmental assessments and preparation of the full business case. The amount of $10.7 million has been allocated to establish a Hawkesbury-Nepean Flood Risk Directorate which will implement the strategy. A further $17.5 million will be used to deliver the non-infrastructure components of the strategy. These include community engagement, evacuation signage, regional planning, and improved flood forecasting.

For other parts of regional New South Wales, work is being undertaken to assess the needs of the Hunter, Macquarie, Gwydir and Lachlan as priority catchments under the State Infrastructure Strategy.

The following major projects in Table 4.7 are currently underway or expected to commence within the next five years and will contribute to delivering the Government’s priorities.

4.13 Health

The Premier’s commitment to building infrastructure as articulated in the NSW: Making It Happen publication is a key priority for NSW Health. NSW Health is on track in delivering a significant number of Government commitments over the next four years.

Like health systems around the world, the NSW health system is facing considerable challenges to meet growing demand, driven by a growing and ageing population, chronic diseases and new healthcare technologies.

NSW Health is continuing to implement a number of strategies to address these challenges, including alternative models of care, preventative health initiatives, and utilising private and not-for-profit sector provision of services.

NSW Health facilities are valued at approximately $20 billion. This includes over 230 public hospitals and 226 ambulance stations. Public hospitals in the State are governed by either a Local Health District Board or a statutory health organisation. NSW Health is committed to ensuring that it makes the best possible use of the available capital resources to deliver better health outcomes for the people of New South Wales.

NSW Health plans to invest in infrastructure worth over $5 billion in the next four years in order to meet the challenges of a changing health care system. The total capital works program in 2016-17 is approximately $1.6 billion. The total value of capital projects starting in 2016-17 is over $910 million. Table 4.8 below outlines NSW Health’s major projects, including works already commenced and new works commencing in 2016-17. Details of other health infrastructure projects are shown in Chapter 5 of this Infrastructure Statement.

Construction will continue on Centres at Bankstown, Liverpool, Blacktown, Kogarah and Penrith and commence on a number of other Centres including Northmead, Artarmon, Caringbah, and in Sydney’s Inner West.

Westmead Hospital Redevelopment $750.0 million The redevelopment of the Westmead Hospital will enhance the tertiary role of the facility and will include the development of a new Acute Services building inclusive of intensive care and high dependency services, a cardiac comprehensive care centre, acute imaging, and expansion of ambulatory care services.

Northern Beaches Health Service Redevelopment

$600.0 million The project will involve a partnership with a private hospital operator to design, construct, manage and operate a new Northern Beaches Hospital at Frenchs Forest, treating both public and private patients. The project will also include the redevelopment and service reconfiguration of Mona Vale Hospital and Community Health.

Asset Refurbishment / Replacement Strategy – State-wide

$500.0 million This 10 year strategy which commenced in 2014-15 will augment the maintenance activities undertaken by Local Health Districts for assets such as major plant (e.g. air conditioning, lifts and other engineering infrastructure).




4.14 Other significant projects

The focus of the State Infrastructure Plan is on major projects. However, the Government also delivers on a range of other infrastructure in areas that have significant annual capital programs comprising many projects less than $100 million. All of these projects are essential to supporting state-wide service delivery and are referenced below to recognise their part in the overall infrastructure program.

Education

Improving educational outcomes contributes to economic productivity and social opportunity and is an important State Priority. By facilitating access to quality education services, infrastructure provision contributes to achieving this goal. The Government has over $22 billion invested in public school education infrastructure across the State, including 2,210 schools accommodated in over 21,000 buildings.

Ongoing enrolment growth will continue to be a driver for school infrastructure investment. While many new students will be accommodated within current facilities on existing school sites, new and upgraded schools will need to be delivered to cater for population growth.

The Government has developed a School Assets Strategic Plan to manage the projected capital and maintenance expenditure requirements for teaching space supply and maintenance to 2031. This work will build on commitments in the INSW State Infrastructure Strategy Update 2014 to explore a range of options to improve asset utilisation, condition and functionality. In response to this, $400.0 million has been committed over the next four years to implement a Schools Infrastructure Strategy that will focus on delivering school infrastructure in key growth areas. This funding is part of the additional $942 million over four years to support new schools, upgrades and improved facilities. The plan will also involve greater inter-agency planning coordination and partnerships between agencies and sectors.

The Government’s Innovative Education, Successful Students initiative will continue to focus school infrastructure investment on innovative uses of technology and flexible learning spaces. This investment will drive improvements to in-classroom practices and student outcomes. New and redeveloped schools will provide more opportunities for group work and project based learning to better prepare students for jobs.

Box 4.1: Parramatta Public School and Arthur Phillip High School

Project: The construction of a new multi-storey building for Arthur Phillip High School for up to 2,000 students, and a new Parramatta Public School for up to 1,000 students on the existing school sites.

Funding allocation: Funding has been allocated as part of this Budget to undertake the works, building on the initial allocation made in the last Budget.

Service delivery objective: The primary objective of the redevelopment is to expand the capacity of the school network with future focused education facilities to meet projected demand in and around Parramatta.

Implementation: Work will commence in 2017 and the schools are expected to open to students from 2019.

Outcomes: The project will provide several improvements for students and the community, including:

• additional teaching spaces to meet student enrolment demand

• new and improved school facilities, including flexible and well connected teaching and learning spaces with technology-enabled facilities

Training

TAFE NSW is the public provider of vocational education and training services in New South Wales. TAFE NSW delivers training in all regions of New South Wales to support students to get jobs and succeed, and to support employers by providing the skills they need to increase workforce productivity and prosperity. Through its Strategic Asset Management Plan, TAFE NSW intends to increase its access and reach to enable it to grow student training capacity. It will provide greater access to training services when, where, and how the students require. The framework for this plan is the interconnected training network which offers new and innovative ways for students to access training including:

• specialist training facilities, developed in consultation with industry

• campus facilities in areas of high demand and in accessible locations

• connected learning centres, hubs, and access points that provide flexibility in learning across the State

• digital and mobile capabilities that are better integrated with existing teaching models

• mobile training units, skills exchange, and ‘pop-up’ facilities that can co-locate with regional campuses or within workplaces to expand course offerings.



The TAFE NSW Strategic Asset Management Plan complements the Government’s priorities. The plan reduces unit costs with the divestment of obsolete facilities. Proceeds from the divestment will be re-invested through sound business cases to support modern learning environments that are right sized, industry standard, and enabled. This increases efficiency and supports completion of qualifications.

The 2016-17 capital expenditure program for the TAFE Commission is $97.1million. The following major and minor projects in Table 4.10 are currently underway or expected to commence within the next five years and will contribute to delivering the Government’s priorities.

Table 4.10: Major projects for training


TAFE - major works starting in 2016-17 $48.0 million New additions and upgrades at TAFE locations to support the learning needs of students and meet industry requirements.

Continuing 22 Major TAFE Projects $64.6 million (2016-17) Upgrades and additions at various TAFE locations and ICT projects.

TAFE minor capital works $17.2 million (2016-17) Maintaining existing TAFE assets around the State to a high standard

Justice

The Government has invested significant new capital in justice infrastructure in recent years, including correctional centres for adults, juvenile detention centres, police and emergency services facilities, and court and tribunal facilities.

This Budget sets out a continuation of this investment, with over $1.3 billion committed in capital funding for the Department of Justice in 2016-17. This capital investment forms part of a wider package of funding by the Government to address increased demand in the criminal justice system.

This wider package includes $2.2 billion over four years to build capacity in the NSW prison system. The prison system is at capacity and additional beds are required to address the demand. Future capital expenditure will deliver modern, safe and secure correctional centres, upgrade existing correctional and court facilities to meet contemporary standards, invest in facilities that support new service delivery models, and roll-out and upgrade information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure.

The Government’s Prison Bed Capacity Program will create around 7,000 new prison beds to provide immediate, medium, and long-term prison capacity. The Government is also investing significant additional funding to expand and construct new facilities at Parklea and Grafton.

This builds on the Corrective Services NSW Infrastructure Strategy, which was designed to support long-term sustainability through the reconfiguration of the prison system to deliver better value for money and support effective service delivery, and to improve outcomes and reduce reoffending.

This includes the development of large and geographically-based correctional precincts and smaller specialist facilities, known as a hub-and-spoke model. This will enable inmates to progress through various program and security levels over the course of their sentence to support their reintegration into the community and reduce their chance of reoffending.

The Government is also providing an additional $107 million in capital funding as part of a $570 million justice reform package over four years to support comprehensive reform of the justice system. This package contains immediate measures to reduce demand on courts and prisons and reforms to support the State Priority to reduce reoffending.



The department is also developing strategies to better align the court system with community expectations. Enhanced use of technology is anticipated and an overarching strategy will be developed to modernise our legal processes and court systems. Some major ICT initiatives have whole-of-sector application, for example, the Justice Audio Visual Link Consolidation Project.

Box 4.2: Increasing Prison Capacity

Context: The Government has developed the Prison Bed Capacity Program to build additional prison capacity that both meets the short-term urgent need and supports longer term goals to create a sustainable and effective prison system. The program will provide opportunity for innovation in service delivery to reduce recidivism and improve prisoner outcomes.

Project: The Prison Bed Capacity Program will reconfigure the New South Wales correctional system to deliver the best value for money and better support service delivery through the development of more sustainable correctional facilities. The program consists of multiple projects, both brownfield and greenfield, including around 7,000 new prison beds as part of the Prison Bed Capacity Program to provide immediate, medium, and long-term prison capacity. Other longer term initiatives include:

• construction of a New Grafton Correctional Centre, a 1,700 bed facility to service Northern New South Wales expected to be completed in 2020

• expansion of the Parklea Correctional Centre by 650 beds to be completed by 2019.

Funding allocation: The 2016-17 Budget includes a spending commitment of $2.2 billion over the four years to 2019-20 for the Prison Bed Capacity Program.

Outcomes: The investment by Government in the Prison Bed Capacity Program will:

• provide safe and secure prison capacity to ensure offender accountability and prisoner safety

• improve outcomes and reduce re-offending to support community safety

• support the long-term sustainability of the prison system.

Arts, culture and the visitor economy

Our arts and cultural facilities support a vibrant and creative New South Wales. Cultural institutions attract and retain the people and skills that the State needs to compete in the global economy. New South Wales contains almost 800 galleries, museums, cultural institutions, libraries, venues and conservatoriums in metropolitan and regional centres.



New South Wales has the strongest arts and cultural sector in Australia and is home to almost 40 per cent of Australia’s creative industries and over a third of Australia’s creative industry employment. The sector accounts for approximately six per cent of the State’s employment, making a vital and growing contribution to the State’s economy.

In the year ending December 2015, New South Wales received over 11.4 million international and domestic cultural and heritage visitors, who spent an estimated $11.2 billion. Sydney has Australia’s largest creative community across fields including music, film, theatre, dance, visual arts, museums, literature, and festival events. Ten of the 28 major performing arts groups in Australia are located within the State.

Our institutions – including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the State Library of New South Wales, the Australian Museum, the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences and the Sydney Opera House – provide a focus for Sydney’s cultural life, and in addition support the regions through lending and touring collections, offsite presentations, educational programs and online access to resources and digitised collections.

Active transport

The Government is committed to making cycling safer and increasing the numbers of people riding bikes to help reduce the burden of congestion on our roads. Sydney’s Cycling Future outlined a comprehensive cycling strategy for Sydney, while regional transport plans also include cycling. The Government recognises the importance of high quality cycling infrastructure in making cycling safer and driving growth in cyclist numbers.

In this Budget, the Government is making a major commitment to invest in cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, with a total of $284 million in funding to be made available over the next four years. This includes:

• $59 million in 2016-17 for more than 300 projects across the State

• an additional $145 million for active transport projects over the forward estimates

• an $80 million reservation in Restart NSW for cycling infrastructure projects, which the Government will spend over four year period on additional priority cycling projects.

These funds are in addition to, and separate from, cycling infrastructure that is being delivered as a part of other projects and funded in this Budget, including:

• new cycleway infrastructure at Homebush and around St Peters being delivered as part of WestConnex

• new bike spaces at train station and commuter car parks, including Opal-activated bike sheds, which are being delivered as part of the Transport Access Program and B-Line projects.



Investment in major sporting facilities

The value of stadia and the role of Government investment in sporting facilities are endorsed in the NSW Stadia Strategy and the SIS 2014. Investment in sporting assets improves government service delivery, social outcomes and drives economic benefits through its impact on productivity, population and participation.

The Government has identified the strategic priorities for major stadia investment in the next five years. These include a new rectangular stadium at Parramatta and the redevelopment of Stadium Australia and the Sydney Football Stadium.

Commencing in 2016-17, the replacement of the current Pirtek Stadium at Parramatta will be the first project funded from the stadia reservation in Restart NSW. The Office of Sport will also conduct a feasibility study to build an international standard indoor sporting arena close to the Sydney CBD and prepare a business case for the proposed upgrade of Stadium Australia.

The related Premier’s and State priorities are:

• building infrastructure – key infrastructure projects to be delivered on time and on budget across the State

• increase attendance at cultural venues and events by 15 per cent by 2019.

The following major projects in Table 4.13 are currently underway or expected to commence within the next five years and will contribute to delivering the Government’s strategic priorities.

A. CAPITAL STRATEGIES AND POLICIES

Introduction

The Government is committed to delivering a robust capital program that fosters NSW’s economic, social and financial objectives. The policies set out in this Appendix reflect a thorough approach to capital that includes the acquisition of new capital assets and the recycling of existing assets, along with the effective and efficient use of core assets. In conjunction with service delivery strategies, the capital framework seeks to effectively meet the current and future needs of the people of New South Wales.

The capital strategy has two distinct elements:

• A high level strategic approach which defines the objectives and how to meet them. In 2015 the Premier announced 30 State priorities outlining specific goals and clear ways to track progress. The 20-year State Infrastructure Strategy (SIS) is the central spoke for the capital program and encapsulates many of the State’s priorities. The SIS informs the annually reported five-year funded State Infrastructure Plan (SIP) and other specific plans.

• A project specific approach to provide assurance for individual projects. This approach continually monitors the development of cluster and agency capital plans and the progression of individual projects from initial planning to delivery. Infrastructure NSW (INSW) and NSW Treasury jointly play a significant role in evaluating projects at an individual level, including through business cases, gateway reviews and ensuring consistency with strategic plans.

A cornerstone of the strategy is the capital investment framework which addresses the four major components of successful infrastructure delivery:

• planning - a single comprehensive infrastructure strategy for the State, with supporting plans which are integrated with funding and project delivery

• project selection - ensuring individual projects or programs represent value for money and are economically and socially justifiable

• funding - implementing an innovative approach to funding for infrastructure while maintaining the State’s triple-A credit rating

• delivery - ensuring all committed projects are delivered efficiently, within budget and on time.

INSW plays a vital role in providing independent expert advice to the Government on investment priorities, driving key infrastructure in partnership with the private sector and managing the presentation of projects to the Australian Government for potential funding. Project review and selection for the five year SIP and for projects recommended for Restart NSW funding follow a consistent and objective assessment framework and enhanced assurance gateway process.

Planning

The Government proactively plans for the next generation by mapping future needs and investing in and actively managing strategic capital assets. This helps to ensure service delivery needs are met and expenditure is managed sustainably.

Infrastructure Statement 2016-17 A - 1

Capital Strategies and Policies

The State priorities announced in 2015 outline the Government’s key objectives and provide an overarching direction for capital investment. The 20-year State Infrastructure Strategy 2012 (SIS 2012), that was subsequently updated in 2014 and 2015 (collectively, the SIS), complements these objectives and provides a detailed infrastructure strategy for New South Wales. The SIS outlines many of the immediate priorities for the State and these are reflected in the annual SIP (Chapter 4 of this Infrastructure Statement). The SIS and the SIP outline overall infrastructure priorities that support integrated metropolitan, district and regional plans and sector specific strategies. These include:

• the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan released in December 2012

• agency level Total Asset Management (TAM) Plans, which include 10-year capital plans.

A key component of the Government’s prudent approach has been to ensure that its infrastructure plans are sustainable and that five year plans are fully funded within current budget estimates.

Intergenerational Report

The Intergeneration Report (IGR) is published every five years and projects demographics, workforce and housing trends for the next four decades. This analysis assists the Government to lay the foundations today for a strong future. The plans and policies included in this chapter support the Government in implementing strategic capital investment that is crucial to long-term sustainability.

Refer to the NSW Intergenerational Report 2016 for more detail.

Priorities for New South Wales

In September 2015 the Premier announced 30 State priorities for achieving the Government’s vision of a stronger, more prosperous New South Wales. Within these commitments, the Premier has nominated 12 priorities to provide particular focus on ways of making the State a better place to live and work.

Box A.1: Capital investment and the State priorities

Strategic capital planning and delivery is critical to achieving the State priorities, including:

• reducing road fatalities by at least 30 per cent from 2011 levels by 2021

• improving road travel reliability

• increasing housing supply across the State and delivering more than 50,000 approvals every year

• planning for 70 per cent of government transactions to be conducted via digital channels by 2019.

The complete set of State priorities can be found at: https://www.nsw.gov.au/making-it-happen

Refer to Chapter 4 of this Infrastructure Statement for more detail on how infrastructure investment contributes to achieving the State priorities.

State Infrastructure Strategy

The strategic direction provided by the 20-year SIS allows for effective infrastructure investment to support growth of the State’s economy and community living standards.

The SIS 2012 prioritised major projects aimed at improving productivity and contributing to economic growth through the provision of infrastructure across transport, utilities, health and education. Many of the highlighted projects in the SIS 2012 are well underway. Examples include WestConnex, Sydney Metro Northwest, the Northern Beaches Hospital, and the Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Centre.

A - 2 Infrastructure Statement 2016-17

https://www.nsw.gov.au/making-it-happen


In November 2014, INSW released the SIS 2014. It contained 30 investment recommendations to the Government on the next round of critical infrastructure projects and programs for New South Wales – priorities that will reduce congestion, support population growth and stimulate productivity across Sydney and regional New South Wales. These recommendations were adopted by the Government to make up the $20 billion Rebuilding NSW plan and released as the Rebuilding NSW State Infrastructure Strategy 2014, with a subsequent update in February 2015.


The SIP outlines the Government’s funded infrastructure priorities over the next five years, 2016-17 to 2020-21, and incorporates short term priority projects from the Government’s SIS.

Refer to Chapter 4 of this Infrastructure Statement for more detail.

NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan

In December 2012, the Government released the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan.

Consistent with the SIS, the master plan identifies both the priority infrastructure and the necessary service delivery changes required over the next 20 years to deliver on the Government’s objectives for the transport system.

More information can be found at: http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/b2b/publications/nsw-transport-masterplan-final.pdf

Regional Plans

Regional plans project growth and change by forecasting the State’s future population’s needs for housing, jobs, infrastructure and a healthy environment. Regional plans improve the link between infrastructure provision and population growth, by planning for both to occur in tandem.

Throughout 2016, regional plans are being exhibited for community engagement. The new plans focus on:

• enabling a robust, diversified economy

• facilitating greater housing choice to suit the State’s changing population needs

• developing strong and vibrant communities through improved transport and urban design

• maintaining environmental attributes and building resilience to natural hazards

• growing the competitiveness of towns to provide more jobs, housing and lifestyle opportunities

• supporting the social fabric to maintain strong communities and liveable places.

The Sydney Metropolitan Strategy, A Plan for Growing Sydney, is the plan for the Sydney region. The Government is committed to making Sydney a strong global city and a great place to live by focusing on productivity, sustainability and liveability.

The recently established Greater Sydney Commission is responsible for implementing A Plan for Growing Sydney. A key priority for the Commission are District Plans. The Commission will engage with residents, state agencies, local governments and the Australian Government to actively integrate land use, transport and infrastructure planning.

http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/b2b/publications/nsw-transport-masterplan-final.pdf


Property Asset Utilisation Taskforce

As part of the Property Asset Utilisation Taskforce (PAUT) Implementation Phase II reform, the Government identified the need to ensure that agencies are appropriately focused on asset utilisation and recycling prior to seeking new or increased expenditure. New processes are being developed to strengthen oversight of new and increased capital expenditure.

Project selection

Individual projects must be financially, socially and economically justifiable to attract government investment. The project selection process helps to provide assurance to the people of New South Wales that investment is directed only to projects that will support economic growth and improve living standards. Many mechanisms are in place to support strong project selection processes including:

• state priorities and the SIS provide a strong strategic context for project specification and selection

• agency Total Asset Management (TAM) Plans consistent with State priorities and the SIS

• robust business cases and economic evaluations are required for each project

• Gateway reviews using independent external reviewers

• an Infrastructure Investment Assurance Framework enables the Government to act as an informed investor in infrastructure

• a sound process to evaluate unsolicited proposals ensuring value to the State.

Total Asset Management

Total Asset Management allows the Government to make budget decisions on infrastructure that meet current and future needs. TAM strategies and 10-year capital investment pipelines are required for each asset intensive agency and allow the Government to invest in the infrastructure that is needed most.

TAM is the foundation for asset management and planning at an agency level. This includes ensuring only assets needed for service delivery are held and surplus assets are available for divestment. Sound asset management requires appropriate management practices by agencies across the asset lifecycle. This covers planning, procurement, operations, maintenance and disposal.

Box A.2: Continued transformation of ICT policy, governance and investment

Information and Communication Technology is a key enabler of government service delivery. The NSW Government ICT expenditure increased from $2.3 billion in 2013-14 to $2.4 billion in 2014-15 (NSW Government ICT Metrics Report 2014-15). The pipeline of new major ICT projects to be delivered by the government in coming years is estimated to be at least $2.7 billion.

The ICT Strategy, released by the Government in 2012 and updated annually, sets out a plan to build capability across the sector to deliver better, more customer-focused services, and to drive better value for the Government’s investment in ICT. The Government subsequently (in 2014) released the ICT Investment Policy and Guidelines, to support ICT investment through:

• establishing a collaborative approach, enabling clusters and agencies to leverage existing solutions, consolidate investments and identify enablers that could be leveraged for whole of government benefits

• identification of opportunities to deliver more efficient and effective ICT investment through early consideration of different sourcing strategies

• whole-of-government ICT strategic planning which will drive the transition to more consistent, shared and standardised approaches to ICT investment.



Box A.2: Continued transformation of ICT policy, governance and investment (cont)

A strengthened ICT Investment Governance Model has been developed to better ensure ICT investments are delivered on time and on budget while achieving the best value outcomes for the State. This requires:

• agency ICT investments to comply with whole-of-government ICT strategy and investment delivery principles

• establishment of new ICT governance arrangements, including a new Government Chief Information and Digital Officer role in the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation to implement and administer a new risked based ICT Assurance Framework.

The progress achieved over the four year life of the 2012 ICT Strategy has created a strong platform for delivering better services in New South Wales. This includes work in key areas such as customer service, procurement reform, open data, transition to cloud, data centre consolidation, and cyber security. This work will help to frame the new approach to digital innovation across government in 2016. The final update on the NSW Government ICT Strategy (Digital+ 2016) can be accessed at:

https://www.finance.nsw.gov.au/ict/sites/default/files/resources/Digital_Strategy_2016_20151125.pdf

Gateway Review

The Gateway Review system is the Government’s assurance program for major capital projects. Reviews are conducted by discrete teams of experienced independent reviewers. The reviews assess projects against seven criteria: service delivery, affordability and value for money, sustainability, governance, risk management, stakeholder management and change management.

INSW and NSW Treasury managed Gateway Reviews during 2015-16. Cluster agencies participating in Gateway Reviews managed by NSW Treasury in 2015 included, Health, Education, Justice, Innovation and Services and Family and Communities, with 20 reviews undertaken for projects totalling $4.6 billion. The review teams were drawn equally from the public and private sectors and other States including Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania.

A review of the Gateway Policy Framework was carried out in early 2016. NSW Treasury will deliver an updated NSW Gateway Policy later this year with consideration of the recommendations from this review and those made by the Auditor General in reports relating to Gateway.

This policy will refine the framework for delivering Gateway providing independent assurance for government on projects from inception through to delivery and benefit realisation, delivering value to NSW taxpayers.

Infrastructure Investment Assurance Framework

In December 2014, following advice from INSW, the Government endorsed the establishment of an Infrastructure Investment Assurance Framework (IIAF). This strengthens the Government’s ability to ensure that infrastructure projects are:

• the highest priority and scoped for maximum value for money

• delivered in a timely and efficient way

• managed and maintained efficiently over their life.

The IIAF established the Infrastructure Investment Assurance Committee chaired by INSW and comprising heads of key agencies to advise the Government on planning, procurement, governance and management of major infrastructure projects.

The IIAF also includes a gateway review process that aims to ensure agencies follow a sound and rigorous approach to developing, evaluating and delivering infrastructure projects.



https://www.finance.nsw.gov.au/ict/sites/default/files/resources/Digital_Strategy_2016_20151125.pdf


Unsolicited proposals guide

The Government recognises that the private sector can offer innovative ideas, approaches and solutions to the State’s policy goals. The Government seeks to encourage a greater level of private sector investment and participation in projects, with rigorous planning and costing to deliver the highest standards of public value and confidence to investors and the community. The Guide for Submission and Assessment of Unsolicited Proposals, February 2014 (the Guide) gives the private sector the consistency and certainty of a transparent and streamlined framework for the assessment of their proposals.

The Guide is subject to regular reviews with the aim of continuous improvement. Since the Guide’s initial release in January 2012, the Government has sought feedback from industry and reviewed the Guide and its underlying processes to improve the quality of proposals received.

In late 2015 the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) undertook a review into the NSW Unsolicited Proposals Framework. The review found that the framework is sound and has led to successful outcomes following the update to the Guide in February 2014. In March 2016, the NSW Acting Auditor General released a Performance Audit Report Managing Unsolicited Proposals in New South Wales which noted that “overall, the governance arrangements for unsolicited proposals are adequate”. The Guide is expected to be further enhanced by 2017, taking into consideration the findings of the DPC review and the Acting Auditor General’s report.

The Guide outlines seven minimum criteria for assessing proposals:

• unique benefits of the proposal providing justification to negotiate directly

• value to government, encompassing economic benefit, service delivery, whole-of-life costs, risk transfer, timely achievement of objectives and qualitative outcomes

• whole-of-government impact, including opportunity costs arising from deviations from the Government priorities that would require a reallocation of funding

• appropriateness of return on investment obtained by the proponent given project risks

• capability and capacity of the proponent to deliver the proposal

• affordability from the perspective of the Government

• appropriate balance in the allocation of risk.

Since the updated Guide was published in February 2014:

• 52 proposals have been received

• four proposals are in Stage 1

• one proposal passed Stage 2 - ‘Macquarie Square’ for AMP Capital and Macquarie University for a new transport interchange and town centre at Macquarie Park

• two proposals have been completed:

– ‘Crown Sydney Resort’, for the application for a restricted gaming facility licence at Barangaroo South

– ‘Wynyard Place’ a consolidation of four existing buildings to deliver a four-level public concourse, a new transit hall and entrance to Wynyard Station, and a state-of-the-art office tower.



Funding

The Government is better utilising, and increasing the potential pool of funds available for infrastructure projects by:

• continuing to fund infrastructure projects through Restart NSW, a dedicated fund for infrastructure to improve the economic competitiveness of the State (refer to Chapter 2 of this Infrastructure Statement)

• working with the Australian Government to secure support for infrastructure funding including through an overarching Asset Recycling Agreement with incentive payments of up to 15 per cent of the asset sale value recycled into productive investment

• securing funding in the 2016 Australian Government Budget of $9.9 billion over the four years to 2019-20 for infrastructure projects administered by the Government and local government

• applying Capital Planning Limits for major infrastructure portfolios (Health, Education and Transport) to provide longer term security of funding for the portfolios and allow savings to be re-allocated to other approved projects

• delivering options for contestable delivery of new service infrastructure in growth areas which will contribute to faster and lower cost development

• better setting and management of contingency allowances for efficiency gains and savings to free up funding for other projects

• working with local governments to improve productivity by assisting in the reduction of infrastructure backlogs

• working closely with the private sector to fund and deliver productive infrastructure projects.

The Restart NSW Fund was established in 2011 to promote economic growth and productivity by funding the delivery of major infrastructure projects. By 30 June 2016, $16.5 billion is expected to have been deposited in the Restart NSW Fund. These inflows are from asset recycling initiatives, Waratah Bonds, interest income and windfall tax revenues.


Rebuilding NSW

The focus of Rebuilding NSW is on investments that increase productivity and improve the State’s overall economic performance. It involves unlocking $20 billion from the proceeds of the lease of 49 per cent of the NSW electricity network businesses for investment in new infrastructure. Areas of priority include public transport, urban and regional roads, water, hospitals, schools and cultural and sporting infrastructure.


Local government infrastructure

Effective local government infrastructure policy has a significant role to play in improving productivity.

The Government has committed $120.0 million to implement the Local Infrastructure Backlog Policy, consisting of:

• financial assessment and benchmarking of councils by NSW Treasury Corporation (TCorp)

• an audit of councils’ local infrastructure backlog

• a Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme which offers councils with infrastructure backlogs State interest subsidies to help finance projects.



The three rounds of the Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme have provided interest subsidies for loans worth $567.0 million. These subsidies support 166 projects that will unlock $823.0 million of infrastructure investment. The projects include buildings, roads and bridges, airports, water and sewerage, waste management, stormwater and drainage, aquatic centres, sports facilities, and enabling infrastructure for housing developments. Councils have completed 79 projects.

While there are no further rounds of the Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme, investment in local infrastructure remains a key priority for the Government. Eligible councils will now be able to access potential savings of up to $600.0 million through the TCorp facility as part of the reform package for local government.

The Government has also established and committed up to $365.0 million to the Stronger Communities Fund. This provides councils established as part of the Fit for the Future reform with access to funds for infrastructure and services that will grow and support their community. This will enable these councils to invest in the future by delivering new or improved infrastructure projects such as sporting fields, libraries and parks for the community.

Contingency review

Major infrastructure projects are long duration, highly complex undertakings that are often significantly affected by external events. A contingency component is required, covering costs that are difficult to precisely identify, given the risk profile of these projects.

In 2014, NSW Treasury and INSW issued a circular and guidelines to improve the allocation and management of contingencies to materially improve value for money in infrastructure delivery. The guidelines are intended to assist agencies to better plan and manage risks, and reuse surplus contingency for investment in other projects.

Contingencies must be managed throughout the full lifecycle of a capital project, including at the following stages:

• preliminary business case

• final business case

• project development stage

• project delivery stage.

Infrastructure finance / public private partnerships

Infrastructure finance involves a range of tools that facilitate better access to potential funding for infrastructure investments in New South Wales. These include public private partnerships (PPPs), concession agreements, leases, vendor finance and other structured finance arrangements.

The Infrastructure and Structured Finance Unit (ISFU) in NSW Treasury focuses on developing innovative solutions to enable continued partnerships with the private sector. These partnerships support complex service-enabling infrastructure projects and balance sheet and cash flow structuring. ISFU also provides structuring advice to develop alternative sources of capital and leads the restructure, refinancing and renegotiation of existing PPP projects.

PPPs are an approach to procurement and financing infrastructure that enables appropriate risk allocation between the Government and the private sector on a value for money basis. These partnerships are developed using world class standards and expertise and emphasise the role infrastructure projects play as an enabler for the delivery of government services. PPPs include social infrastructure PPPs (such as availability payment PPPs in health, education, transport and roads), economic infrastructure PPPs (such as user fee PPPs in roads and water), joint financing arrangements and concession agreements.



The Government’s NSW Public Private Partnership Guidelines were recently enhanced following a review. The updated Guidelines reflect current best practice in procuring PPPs with the following principal features:

• creating public service-enabling infrastructure assets through public and/or private sector financing

• a contribution by government through land, capital works, availability payments, risk sharing, revenue diversion or other supporting mechanisms

• engaging the private sector for a specified period for the provision of related services.

The Guidelines provide a transparent mechanism to competitively pursue innovative solutions to deliver improved services and better value for money. This is primarily achieved through optimal risk allocation, management synergies, encouraging innovation in operations, design and construction, efficient asset utilisation and integrated whole-of-life asset management.

Reducing bid costs for outcome based procurement in New South Wales

In line with continuous improvement, NSW Treasury sought detailed feedback from industry participants on the State’s procurement processes for major infrastructure projects and how processes could be improved to reduce the cost of bidding. This review resulted in a number of key policy developments including the establishment of the Project Deed Evolution. This is a new standard project deed for availability based PPPs in New South Wales reflecting the most recent market precedent and was developed in collaboration with the private sector.

The last twelve months saw financial close for a number of significant contracts as well as development of key projects in the pipeline as summarised in Box A.3.

Box A.3: Innovative infrastructure procurement and financing in New South Wales

WestConnex

WestConnex is Australia’s largest transport project, linking Sydney’s west and south-west with the CBD, Sydney Airport and Port Botany and generating over $20 billion in economic benefits. The project is being delivered in three stages. Stage 1 is the widening and extension of the M4 motorway to Haberfield. Stage 2 is the new M5 motorway and Stage 3 is the planned link between the new M4 and the new M5. The project is primarily delivered by Sydney Motorway Corporation with capital contributions from Roads and Maritime Services (RMS).

WestConnex is estimated to cost $16.8 billion. The total cost is funded through a combination of NSW Government contributions, Australian Government contributions of $1.5 billion, an Australian Government concessional loan of $2.0 billion and private financing supported by user charges.

The WestConnex 2016-17 allocation is $2.9 billion, with around 40 per cent invested by the State and the remainder from the Australian Government and private investment.

The Government is investing $3.6 billion into WestConnex. The Government’s investment has enabled the delivery of Stage 1, the accelerated delivery of Stage 2 and the delivery of Stage 3 Preliminary Works. As part of the Stage 2 acceleration, a further additional Government equity investment was made to enable a majority ownership stake to be retained to maximise the value of the Government’s investment and asset recycling potential for Stage 3.

The Government is currently considering Stage 3 financing and delivery options to maximise the value for money, which may include asset recycling, Government contributions, private financing and user charges.

Westconnex – Stage 1B: In June 2015, financial close was reached on the design and construction contract with consortia led by CPB Contractors Samsung John Holland Joint Venture to deliver the M4 East Extension via a tunnel from Homebush to Haberfield.



Box A.3: Innovative infrastructure procurement and financing in New South Wales (cont)

Westconnex – Stage 2: In November 2015, financial close was reached on the design and construction contract for WestConnex – Stage 2 – the new M5 Motorway with a CIMIC, Dragados and Samsung C&T joint venture. WestConnex Stage 2 incorporates design, construction, finance, maintenance and operation of a new M5 East tunnel as well as maintenance and operation of the existing M5 East tunnel. WestConnex Stage 2 will widen and extend the eastbound on-ramp and westbound off-ramp between King Georges Road and the M5 East and is the first section of the WestConnex Stage 2 including widening and extending the M5 motorway. The upgrade to the King Georges Road Interchange will cut travel times at the interchange by up to half as well as alleviate delays along the M5 East and King Georges Road.

Monetisation of M7 rental payments

In October 2015, the M7 base rent payable by Westlink M7 to RMS was successfully monetised and recycled into the NorthConnex project. The monetisation was unprecedented in the Australian market and is an innovative way of recycling assets to invest in critical infrastructure.

The monetisation involved a competitive sale process that attracted strong interest from domestic and offshore parties. This resulted in proceeds that were well above the minimum acceptable price, despite significant market volatility. All proceeds will be applied to the NSW Government’s contribution to the NorthConnex project.

Social and Affordable Housing Fund

The Social and Affordable Housing Fund (SAHF) is a dedicated fund that will facilitate new social and affordable homes to support vulnerable households. In partnership with Infrastructure Partnerships Australia and the NSW Council of Social Services, the fund has been set up with $1.1 billion in seed capital from the Government. The first phase will deliver 3,000 additional social and affordable homes, with at least 70 per cent to be social housing dwellings, and associated services.

The project will take the form of a Services Agreement with preferred consortia for the delivery of services including social and affordable homes throughout the State, asset management, tenancy management, tailored support coordination and performance and data reporting. The SAHF model will facilitate innovation to support a sustainable social housing system, deliver services that achieve outcomes, scalable design, and promote partnerships with private and non-government participants. The project is currently in the procurement stage.

Project delivery

Delivering infrastructure projects efficiently, on time and on budget is a key priority for the Government. There are a number of policies in place to help achieve this and measure progress along the way, including:

• using strategic plans to advance preparation by delivery agencies and by private providers who can rely on a project pipeline

• the Infrastructure and Structured Financing Unit in NSW Treasury continuing to actively engage and work with the private sector

• using innovative project delivery models, like the establishment of the Sydney Motorway Corporation Pty Ltd (SMC Group) which is delivering WestConnex, to focus both expertise and accountability

• further enhancement of the Government Procurement Policy

• the continued implementation of a set of business processes for Enterprise Asset Management

• INSW overseeing, monitoring and reporting to government on the progress of all significant projects

• the Projects NSW unit within INSW managing the procurement and delivery of nominated priority infrastructure projects

• instituting structural changes within major agencies, and across government, to drive infrastructure delivery. For example:

– Health Infrastructure, an independent expert organisation responsible for delivering all major health capital projects over $10.0 million on behalf of the Ministry of Health



– the Transport Asset Holding Entity, a dedicated asset manager for the State’s public transport sector responsible for procuring and selling assets consistent with Government requirements and negotiating leases and other contracts with operators

– constituting the Major Projects Executive Committee, comprising Chief Executives from central and infrastructure agencies, to supervise all major infrastructure projects and report to the Cabinet Sub-Committee for Infrastructure.

Review and reform of procurement policy

The Government has reformed its system for procurement of goods and services to deliver value for money, quality government services, and alignment with business needs.

The NSW Procurement Board Goods and Services Policy Framework and the Strategic Directions Statement 2014-15 outlines ways agencies can achieve the Government’s objectives of reducing red tape, increasing competition and innovation, and simplifying the procurement process for buyers and suppliers. This policy helps to improve overall procurement and industry engagement that will result in better outcomes.

Enterprise Asset Management

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is the efficient and effective management of an organisation’s assets across departments, facilities, business units and geographical locations to deliver the services required by customers. In February 2015 the NSW Government successfully launched a set of end-to-end business processes for EAM that aligns with the International Asset Management Standards (ISO 55000) series. The State’s asset portfolio includes physical assets, such as:

• buildings

• public transport assets

• health and education assets

• utilities

• cultural and recreational service assets

• emergency services and police assets.

The continued implementation of EAM will help to reduce the State’s annual maintenance expenditure. This new whole-of-life approach to managing assets focuses on the planning and renewal stages in addition to the acquisition and maintenance stages. This provides government agencies with the means to reduce waste and improve return on investment.

Guidelines for construction procurement

The Implementation Guidelines to the New South Wales Code of Practice for Procurement: Building and Construction 2013 deals with matters including:

• protecting freedom of association laws

• protecting independent contractors (including sub-contractors) from coercion

• restrictions on over-award payments, unregistered workplace agreements and project agreements

• ensuring that right of entry laws are appropriately applied on construction work sites

• arrangements for Workplace Relations Management Plans on larger projects.

The guidelines apply to contractors, including prospective contractors, who participate in government procurement processes for public building and construction work.
